EZpup-2.1.7R2 doesn't work with 2.16, just a blank desktop appears, and theres no wallpaper on background.

EDIT:
EZpup works now by adding

Code:

rox -p=/root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin

to /usr/sbin/delayedrun

Interesting!?!? I've tested EZpup-2.1.7R2 with both 2.16 and 2.17 (not 2.17.1, yet) and it works fine on a Pentium M 1.73GHz laptop and a Celeron 1GHz desktop through several test installs and removals. Maybe this is only a problem with really fast machines? I'll consider adding your fix to the next version, just in case.

I guess that's why it's called the "bleeding edge"! You're alright because your time machine (Tmxxine) can go back and correct any mistakes before they happen, can't it? _________________Actions speak louder than words ... and they usually work when words don't!

Well, I had puppy 2.16 and EZpup working great. However, I am a sucker for the latest and greatest and so I backed everything up and upgraded to 2.17.1

More accurately, I wiped my drive and installed 2.17.1 fresh.

I downloaded the EZpup-2.1.7R2 pet package and attempted to install it.

However, I am confronted with the following error:

The EZpup-2.1.7R2-2.pet package has been downloaded to /root/.packages,
however there is not enough room to uncompress and install it.
The free space is 59525 blocks but it is estimated you will
need 149240 blocks temporarily for the expansion and install.

Note: If you are using a pup_save.3fs personal storage file,
it can be made bigger -- see Utilities menu.

This script will now delete the package and exit...

This is a fresh 2.17.1 install on a 1GB usb drive. Other Pet packages seem to work without an error. This machine has 512 MB ram and I am using a 256 MB pup_save. There are gobs of free space and plenty of free ram.

I appreciate any advice you can give. The stock puppy is a little hard on the eyes.

Although only 15Mb in dotpet format, EZpup can expand to over 70Mb or more. 256Mb pup_save sounds a little tight to me, since the expansion will take place in your similarly sized ram drive and could need 140Mb or more.

If you have a hard drive, you could use pet2tgz to expand the dotpet and then simply extract it to where you want. It won't register with PETget but it will expand that way. Don't forget to reboot though.

Hope that helps_________________Actions speak louder than words ... and they usually work when words don't!

Yep. Edit the startup file from the quicklaunch menu and uncomment the line pointing to "freememapplet-tray" which is located in /root/my-applications._________________Actions speak louder than words ... and they usually work when words don't!

Question to the cognoscenti: is not the subdir /tmp in fact a ramdisk, and, since so, would it not solve moebigsley's problem to simply copy the EZpup .pet to /tmp and unpack it from there--especially if he has a swap partition?

***EDITED it turns out that, as of 2.17-1, /tmp is *not* a ramdisk, so this wouldn't work.

This may change in a future version of Puppy...Last edited by Sit Heel Speak on Fri 17 Aug 2007, 01:47; edited 2 times in total

aïïïïï i wanted to try to change my cursor, result: my desktop has disappear! only the tray is left, and i can't get my desktop back !!
(not a big problem for me, i remastered Puppy not long ago, i'll just delete my current pupsave)

anyway i'd like to mention something: i'm scared at how people use graphical items from Windows(R); show some respect !

surprise to see blinky INSIDE the tray!! that is step 1 of 3; let's hope in the next version we can have freememapplet and mini-volume !
cheers

EDIT: thank you Wolf Pup for your tip for fixing the desktop, i didn't read this thread entirely.
freememapplet appears now in my tray after i uncommented the 2 lines in the startup file...
now what to do for having mini-volume in the tray too?
